Now Google counts quality backlinks as a no. 1 ranking factor. And Guest Posting in SEO plays a vital role in achieving the goal of getting quality backlinks. In this article, we will discuss all aspects of guest posting in SEO.
What is Guest Posting?
Guest posting is a practice in blogging in which a writer contributes a piece of content to another’s blog in return for building a relationship, and getting exposure, and backlinks. This whole process is also known as guest blogging.
Guest blogging helps you to build a strong relationship with the blogger who hosting your post on his blog, and his audience.
The Basic Concept
Simply you are a writer on blog A and want to publish a post on blog B. So you will request blog B via email or a contact page and ask for the requirement to publish a post on his blog.
When he replies you will write a well optimize article that fulfills his requirements. And send it to him. He will publish it on his blog and give you a link from this article or author box.
Bloggers need high-quality and attractive content for their blogs. In this way, you got a backlink from it and he got quality content for his blog. It’s a win-win situation for both.
